Technology
Pfaudler has gained valuable technical experience working with industry leaders in the Pharmaceutical, Petrochemical, and Specialty Chemical sectors. Through these partnerships, Pfaudler has developed an expertise in the processing of many compounds ranging from the most common chemicals to the latest discoveries. Whatever your process need, Pfaudler has the knowledge to help your operation run smoothly.
Featured Technology: Biodiesel Vacuum Distillation
Two product streams are generated from the production of Biodiesel, one rich in glycerin and the other rich in methyl ethers. Over the past several years Pfaudler has worked with numerous companies to purify both these streams using our evaporative technology. Pfaudler Wiped Film Evaporators have successfully demonstrated the ability to vacuum distill glycerin and the methyl ester fuel into a more refined form with vastly improved color and quality. We invite you to witness the benefits Pfaudler can offer to your Biodiesel production by running a test in our state-of-the-art Pilot Facility.
